Paper Birds
February 25, 2014
In the winter you made me paper birds
They migrated from your hands to mine
And you told me something
About how you truly loved someone when you gave them a thousand cranes
You left in March
With the start of the thaw
And I hunted the birds in frustration
Filling their tiny wings with buckshot
So they had no choice but to fall
